Belize

There's something innately seductive about Belize. It may be the way the country's name rolls carelessly off your tongue, or the allure of sun-kissed bodies reclining, languidly along idyllic sandy beaches.

Perhaps it's the enticingly slow pace of life that encourages you to savour every moment you spend in Belize and then rocks you to sleep at night like a baby. Indulge in the diving, snorkelling and sailing of Placencia, known for having the best beaches in Belize, a country known for the kind of beaches we dream about. Tempt your adventurous side with a taste of San Ignacio's waterfalls, Mayan ruins and caves. Whatever your tastes, photos of Belize should be enough to draw you in for a closer look.
